Mets Defeat Brewers to Advance in NL Wild Card

The New York Mets defeated the Milwaukee Brewers 4-2 in Game 3 of the NL Wild Card series, advancing to face the Philadelphia Phillies in the Division Series, marking their first playoff advancement since 2015. Pete Alonso's three-run homer in the ninth inning off Brewers' closer Devin Williams was pivotal in the Mets' comeback victory. In Game 2, Milwaukee's rookie sensation Jackson Chourio tied the game with his second homer of the night before Garrett Mitchell's two-run shot secured a 5-3 win for the Brewers, forcing a decisive Game 3. Chourio, only 20, etched his name alongside Babe Ruth by hitting two game-tying home runs in a single postseason game, further solidifying his burgeoning MLB stardom. Despite their efforts and Chourio's historic performance, the Brewers fell short in Game 3 against the Mets and have yet to win a postseason series since 2018.
